| paladin_man 07/16/18 8:22:01 AM #1 | This week, I'm carrying TWO pagers. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | I don't understand gym memberships. |
| paladin_man 07/16/18 8:18:50 AM #9 | ArchiePeck posted... What do you not understand? The fact that direct debit is cheaper and offers far more free stuff over 12 months upfront. masticatingman posted... Thats expensive for a gym imo but I dont know where you live. It's in AUD (so maybe $500 USD?). Plus I get access to the swimming pool + sauna as well. Plus it's normally meant to be $1028 for 12 months. I get a corporate discount. Oh, and it will be able to claim about 30% of it from health insurance too. Oh, and this is a fancy schmancy gym. Virgin Active (the same guys who fly planes). --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | I don't understand gym memberships. |
| paladin_man 07/16/18 7:12:05 AM #1 | 12 months upfront : $728 + free sports bag and towel Direct debit: $57 a month ($684 for 12 months) + one month free + free sports bag and towel + one free personal trainer lesson. 12 month minimum --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | No shows to interviews. |
| paladin_man 07/13/18 9:01:47 AM #1 | I do not understand the rationale behind this. We had a round of interviews yesterday for 2 full-time positions (one temp and one permanent). We expected to interview nine candidates, but only six showed up. Why would you put all the effort into making the final cut only not to show? At least make a call... --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Are you a registered organ donor? |
| paladin_man 07/12/18 10:35:33 PM #1 | What is your opinion on opting in for organ donation? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | How much do you intend to claim on your tax return for 2017/2018? |
| paladin_man 06/18/18 6:35:05 AM #1 | Getting that bulk cheque is a sweet feeling. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Greying early in life vs balding early in life |
| paladin_man 06/17/18 12:32:35 AM #15 | It's easier to dye hair than it is to replace hair that isn't there. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | The feeling when a restaurant forgets one of your orders. |
| paladin_man 06/17/18 12:30:19 AM #1 | But still manages to charge you for it. This shouldn't happen. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Knocking doors. |
| paladin_man 06/10/18 2:47:26 AM #1 | Do you knock with the back of your fist or the front? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |

| paladin_man 06/03/18 1:58:52 AM #112 | Pineapple for sure. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | My bank is offering to increase my credit limit. |
| paladin_man 06/03/18 1:58:40 AM #9 | 008Zulu posted... A larger limit usually brings with it a higher interest rate, and monthly repayment. Makes no difference when you pay it all at once on time. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | My bank is offering to increase my credit limit. |
| paladin_man 06/03/18 1:31:35 AM #1 | They're offering to increase my limit from 6k to 12k. Literally, double my credit card limit. And this is about 20% of my net income a year. Should I go for it? I wouldn't get anywhere near it. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Things you've sprayed bugs with that wasn't insecticide spray. |
| paladin_man 05/10/18 9:42:22 AM #1 | Deodorant: Ineffective Eucalyptus oil spray: Slow AF, but kills it eventually WD-40: Effective (you really can use this for everything) 70% ethanol spray: Effective, probably quicker than actual bug spray. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Samsung/Apple Pay is so convenient |
| paladin_man 05/07/18 10:24:22 AM #17 | I just phone NFC payments too to save one extra card slot in my wallet. Six-slot wallets are hard to work with. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Hotels that advertise king-sized beds but just bind two single beds together. |
| paladin_man 05/07/18 10:06:52 AM #4 | ExtremeLuchador posted... Where was that? More hotels than not to be honest. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Hotels that advertise king-sized beds but just bind two single beds together. |
| paladin_man 05/06/18 8:43:14 AM #1 | This should be distinguishable by law. The two singles eventually separate and create a crevice in the centre. Very uncomfortable to sleep on. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | 'Tell us in 25 words or less' competitions. |
| paladin_man 05/06/18 2:07:32 AM #1 | Are these more or less just a glorified draw or do they assess the quality of your comment to win? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Are supermarket loyalty cards worth it? |
| paladin_man 05/01/18 8:34:31 AM #1 | I've accumulated over 4000 points (at $1 per point) and the redemption value is $20. That's like a 0.5% return for all the marketing information I've given them. It really hasn't encouraged loyalty to a particular chain since I use loyalty programs for both major supermarket chains. The rewards program are more or less similar for both. My initial rationale for joining was that, 'it was spending I would have had to do anyway'. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Am I in the friend zone CE? |
| paladin_man 05/01/18 6:39:33 AM #4 | nevershine posted... Did you tell her you post on CE about her health issues....if so, there's no coming back from that kinda friend zoning Obviously not. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Am I in the friend zone CE? |
| paladin_man 05/01/18 6:15:25 AM #1 | She told me she just started her period and that she hasn't pooped for like 4 days. And was thinking of going to the pharmacy to get an enema. Totally fine being friend-zoned though. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Why are people so slow at self-checkout? |
| paladin_man 04/24/18 9:30:29 AM #10 | Eh. I'd rather slow people at self checkouts than slow people at staffed checkouts. At least I can use a different kiosk to scan my stuff. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Well, at some burgers my roommate 'cooked' - almost completely pink on inside |
| paladin_man 04/22/18 8:54:43 AM #48 | I ate a burger that looked like that yesterday. Apparently the one I ate was pinkish on purpose because it was 'dry aged' beef. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Anyone done on-call work before? |
| paladin_man 04/21/18 2:15:29 AM #1 | Doing my first on-call shift next week. I might not get any sleep. I presume you're meant to be paid extra to do an on-call shift. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Have you ever done the seven-day work week? |
| paladin_man 04/15/18 8:26:41 AM #1 | Just finished a seven-day work week and I feel like hell. I shall think twice before covering two people at once. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Is it true that in China if you help someone they can hold you responsible? |
| paladin_man 04/10/18 9:52:22 AM #6 | frozenshock posted... http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-good-samaritans-who-were-punished-their-kindness/ This is messed up but still a slightly different context. If you are qualified to do CPR and commit to doing so on a person who isn't breathing why should you be held accountable if it doesn't work out? Isn't that was Good Samaritan Laws are for? Countries should practice Duty of Rescue so encourage coming to someone's aid, and punishing bystanders. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Is it true that in China if you help someone they can hold you responsible? |
| paladin_man 04/10/18 9:33:52 AM #1 | Apparently, if someone is injured and you try to help them, the victim can hold you financially responsible for their medical bills. Because if this is true, that is extremely messed up and I'm staying the hell away from China. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Bus drivers that depart earlier than their scheduled. |
| paladin_man 04/10/18 4:29:45 AM #1 | Alright, I'll tolerate one to two minutes tops but leaving five minutes earlier is a dick move. Especially if the next one is an hour away. One of the reasons I try to avoid public transport when possible. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | caffeine addicts should seek help |
| paladin_man 04/03/18 5:40:46 PM #10 | At least they have a lower risk of getting Parkinson's Disease. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Is an automatic coffee machine worth getting? |
| paladin_man 04/03/18 5:39:33 PM #5 | bluezero posted... Pods are a trap That's what I'm thinking since every brand of coffee machine only accepts their own pods. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Is an automatic coffee machine worth getting? |
| paladin_man 04/03/18 5:25:34 PM #1 | Nespresso in particular. Not the mini ones but the full-sized ones that do everything. One problem is I'll be forced to buy Nespresso pods for life. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Is it unethical to outbid someone in the last minute of an eBay auction |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 8:42:48 PM #9 | Pretty sure there are bots that were created for the purpose of bid sniping. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Commercials that use actor testimonials piss me the fuck off |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 8:16:34 PM #2 | I agree. Just as bad as fake discounts. I guess they think their consumer base really is that dumb (and they probably are). --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |

| Topic | Anything to know about working in a hospital? |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 7:16:28 PM #17 | nome from gnome posted... paladin_man posted...Either bring your own food or prepare to pay top dollar for the captive-market economy inside the hospital. If the hospital has fast food chains that is a boon since they can only charge so much. But $7 Sub of the Day can only carry you so far before you get sick of it. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Why don't all jobs have the option for tips? |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 7:15:07 PM #24 | ModLogic posted... ManBeast462 posted...You already get paid to do your job But they're underpaid and FORCED to supplement their wages with tips. Why not just opt-in to getting paid normally? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Anything to know about working in a hospital? |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 7:11:44 PM #14 | Either bring your own food or prepare to pay top dollar for the captive-market economy inside the hospital. $11.50 for a prepacked sandwich? Get out. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |

| paladin_man 04/01/18 10:23:54 AM #2 | Sounds like an RPG cooking mechanic. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | what troll invented daylight savings time and why did people actually listen |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 9:43:45 AM #3 | I agree. Everyone loses an hour of sleep in October and they get it back in April. What the heck? Not to mention all the analog clocks/watches I have to change. I don't think there is much evidence to say it is of benefit. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Is it perfectly normal to choose two different airlines for your trip? |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 3:37:11 AM #1 | My friends insist I choose the same airline for the outbound and return trip. But by shopping around I can save over $180 per person by picking two different airlines. Not only that, the flight times are more favourable. I know airlines will encourage us to fly with them twice, but why do we have to pick the same airline again? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |

| paladin_man 04/01/18 2:14:37 AM #5 | helIy posted... why didn't you spell out conditioner Why don't you use proper punctuation in your sentences? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Restaurants or fast food places that give their employees free lunch. |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 12:10:46 AM #6 | Aeriis posted... I wish the restaurant I worked at did this. Is it worth taking? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | People who are anti-air con. |
| paladin_man 04/01/18 12:09:40 AM #1 | The type of people even on the hottest days complain if you have the air conditioning on. These people put me on tilt be just a little bit. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Restaurants or fast food places that give their employees free lunch. |
| paladin_man 03/31/18 11:48:42 PM #1 | The local Kebab shop gives their employees a free kebab during lunch time. Any places you know that offers this perk? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | What is your opinion on tonic water? |
| paladin_man 03/28/18 3:45:57 AM #1 | That taste though. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | What is a reasonable commute time to work? |
| paladin_man 03/27/18 7:58:43 AM #1 | 30 minutes (one way)? I've done 45 minutes one way and I feel it adds stress to my day. Staying back and doing overtime makes me feel uneasy. More comfortable doing overtime when I only have to travel 20 minutes or so back home. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Currently drinking Pepsi in a Coca-Cola glass. AMA. |
| paladin_man 03/26/18 4:27:29 AM #1 | Pretty sure this is illegal in a few states. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Did you prefer Ice Beam or Blizzard in Pokemon? |
| paladin_man 03/25/18 12:31:38 AM #1 | Same with all the other elemental move equivalents. 90 base power or 120 base power moves? Which side did you pick? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Is it justified to discriminate against smokers? |
| paladin_man 03/24/18 11:06:00 PM #1 | Smokers room. Smoking banned at public stations. Smoking banned without a certain distance to hospitals. I feel like it is warranted, but it's worse when you see a smokers disregarding a no smoking sign. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
